Flowers gently swaying in the breeze,
Visited by black and yellow coated bumble bees
They take the pollen from the core
To make honeycomb, in their store.
The bushes lush and green with leaves
A ladybird climbs up with ease
Her dress red and black spotted polka dot
She sits near a wasp in the sunniest spot
A red admiral butterfly hovers above
His delicate wings like a gossamer glove
He leaves behind him a chrysalis cocoon
So many more butterflies will follow quite soon.
Our Blackbird friends now join the fray
They need twigs to build their nests in May
They forage round and look for worms
Mum and Dad taking it each in turns.
The coloured fish swim in the pond all day
Trying to chase toads and frogs away.
Blue and pink dragonflies fly over low
The newts look on with their bellies an orange glow.
The other birds pay a garden visit too
Redbreast robin, sparrow, thrush to name but a few
The starlings push to be first into the bird bath
Splashing water all over the path.
Squirrels, dormice, hedgehogs, a shrew
Even at night time they come out to view
The wild life animals - such a joy to behold.
These are life’s riches more precious than gold.
